DE3727463A1 - Drainage insert with aeration and rod securing means for plants in plant receptacles - Google Patents

Abstract

Drainage insert for plant receptacles and covering, of any shape, consisting of a highly porous or rot-proof material, for example plastic or fabric, provided with holes or bushings in or on the drainage body as a securing means for rods for fastening plants or the blooms thereof. In order to prevent the drainage body being filled or blocked by sludge, a cover is pushed over said drainage body. A small air chamber has to be located between drainage body and cover, and a tube or hose is inserted into the drainage body in order to provide for additional aeration or also the evaporation of the watering water. The drainage body also prevents, inter alia, the rotting of plant roots. Inserted or fitted in the drainage body are securing means for rods for tying the plants or the blooms thereof.

Description

Information on the genus

Drainage insert with ventilation and rod holders for plants in planters.

State of the art

It is known that before planting plants in pots, bowls, buckets or boxes of pottery shards be placed on the bottom of the planters, if possible so that the holes in the floor the planters are covered with the shards. It is also known that rods or brackets in the Planters can be placed around the plants or to support their flowers.

Criticism of the state of the art

Plastic planters are increasingly crowding out the traditional clay pots. So often sound don't shard at hand to clear the floor with it cover up. Many planters are in the ground the same no holes. This acidifies the Ground.

Plants are often watered too much, the watering water cannot drain off. The roots of the Plants rot because of adequate drainage or ventilation in the planters is missing.

Bars or brackets for holding the plants can with loose soil usually not so tight be inserted that the plants or their often heavy inflorescences really hold give.

task

The object of the invention is now

• 1. An effective drainage for plants in plants to find vessels,
• 2. provide adequate ventilation that prevents the earth from growing in the planters acidified,
• 3. Ver standing water in the planters prevent the roots of the plants not lazy  
• 4. an attachment for rods to support the Plants or their flowers.

solution

This object is thereby ge triggers by placing a drainage insert on the floor the planters are placed. This drainage If possible, the location should not be directly on the Bottom of the planters, but through "Feet" a few millimeters from the bottom of the Have planters.

The drainage insert can be made of highly porous material consist. But it can also be made from a plate, which is bent up or down be.

The drainage insert can be egg, ball, hemisphere or be conical.

There are any in the drainage body ordered holes. To accommodate ventilation or for attaching rods for connecting the Plants or their flowers are also holes or sockets provided.

To prevent the drainage from slurrying, a cover is put over this or ge plugged.

This lid should be shaped so that it over protrudes the drainage body. Are in the lid Openings. These serve for the passage of the bars and the ventilation that is in the drainage body are located.

The lid or cover of the drainage body should not be firmly on the drainage, but for drainage and the lid must be a Allow a gap of a few millimeters affords to drainage and ventilation To bring effect.

The ventilation is done by inserting a Tube or hose into the drainage enough. This tube or tube should Protrude 1 cm above the soil. So is in addition to the additional ventilation also a ver evaporation of irrigation water that is at the bottom of the Planters is guaranteed.

Any can be used to make the drainage rot-proof material can be used.

The drainage body can also be stiffened Tissue exist.

Further embodiment of the invention

The drainage insert can also be used for hydroponics be used. Here is the advantage of additional ventilation and the rod holder to find.  

Achievable advantages

• a) An effective drainage for plants in Pots, bowls, buckets or boxes.
• b) Adequate ventilation that prevents that the soil is acidified in the planters.
• c) Standing water at the bottom of the planters to prevent the roots of the plants do not rot.
• d) rods for supporting the plants or their Blossoms.

Claims (4)

1. Drainage insert for planters. 2. Drainage insert for planters with a lid or cover to prevent sludge or sludge of the drainage body. 3. Drainage insert for planters with one device for holding a pipe or hose for ventilation the earth and evaporation of the irrigation water, which over protrude the potting soil. 4. Drainage insert for planters and cover, any molded from highly porous or non-rotting material, such as B. plastic, plastic or fabric provided with Holes or sockets in or on the drain body as Holder for rods for attaching plants or their flowers.
